Program(s) Philosophy
The School and Community Psychology Program at Seton Hall University trains psychologists to address the psycho-educational and socio-emotional needs of school age children and adolescents. Inherent in this training is the belief that children must be viewed in the contexts in which they live. The social, economic, and cultural contexts shape their feelings, thoughts and actions. The school can usefully be regarded as the second nurturing agent beyond the family. Consequently, it is intimately involved in the growth and development of societies' youngest members. Students in the program are provided with professional and academic training to address the individual, contextual, and systemic needs of children and adolescents as well as those who nurture and support them.
This is a combined 36-credit master's program and a 42-credit specialist program leading to the Education Specialist (Ed.S.) degree and licensure in the state of New Jersey as a school psychologist. The program includes an Internship of 1200 hours as well as a Pre-Internship (Practicum) field experience of 300 hours. The program is recommended for individuals who wish to work in schools and in child and adolescent mental health facilities, or to prepare for doctoral study. The combined master's and specialist program in School and Community Psychology takes on average between four and one-half to five and one-half years to complete.
